A House of Dynamite: Release date news, cast details, streaming details and more about the upcoming political thriller

The Academy Award-winning director Kathryn Bigelow's next movie, A House of Dynamite, already had its world premiere at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival and will soon be available to watch in select theaters.

After the theatrical release, it will soon be available on the streaming platform Netflix.

The film brings an ensemble cast of Rebecca Ferguson, Idris Elba, Jared Harris, and more, as the government officials trying to prevent a nuclear missile attack on the United States.

During an interview regarding the film, Bigelow told The Guardian that,

"I grew up in an era when hiding under your school desk was considered the go-to protocol for surviving an atomic bomb. Today, the danger has only escalated. Multiple nations possess enough nuclear weapons to end civilisation within minutes. And yet, there’s a kind of collective numbness - a quiet normalisation of the unthinkable."

About A House of Dynamite, she says,

"I wanted to make a film that confronts this paradox - to explore the madness of a world that lives under the constant shadow of annihilation, yet rarely speaks of it."

We will now see more details on the upcoming film below.
